Re: First car, new to all of this!
That will look awesome mate such a good price aswell
I'd leave fogs in as they look well fitted but that's because I like fogs on a car

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

This what I use all the time, highly recommend it apart from the splice clip, I use a straight through crimp instead
And being a sparky your bound to have a couple spade crimps about ya

Re: First car, new to all of this!

Re: First car, new to all of this!
Personally I would soulder and heatshrink all connections as it's more durable and is the best way to do it also looks better good purchase there though

Re: First car, new to all of this!
Also does anyone know of a cheap set of bike carbs that would fit my car?

Re: First car, new to all of this!
Bike carbs aren't cheap, tbh you need a couple hundred and then if there off gettin them set is a pro job and if a jet goes there far from cheap
I bought webbers for my rally car and have stopped fitting as its just going to cost too much
